The City of Eagle Pass, Texas City Council and Parks and Recreation Department held a ground breaking ceremony for a new skate park on Monday, December 18, 2017, at Flowers Street underneath the Veterans Boulevard Railroad Overpass in northern Eagle Pass, Texas.

Eagle Pass Mayor Ramsey English Cantu and City Council members joined Parks and Recreation Department Director George Sanchez and local skating enthusiasts in the initial ground breaking ceremony of this new skating park designed by a skating park design firm exclusively for local skating fans.

Once completed, the new Eagle Pass Skating Park will feature the latest skating park amenities and activities for the public, announced Sanchez.  Construction is estimated to be completed in March of 2018.  The estimated cost of the new skating park on Flowers Street is budgeted at $370,000, said Sanchez.

The City of Eagle Pass’ previous skating park in Burr Park in Los Angeles Heights was closed due to the construction of a new gymnasium project by the Parks and Recreation Department.
